Hi list,

It seems that my sound card is not being detected.  I just updated my 
ccrma.  Sound was working before the update.  Any thoughts and/or 
suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

1. System->Administration->Soundcard Detection shows proper sound card 
as default and plays sample sound.

2. Command "speaker-test" does not produce any sound.  Error messages:


[robo6@localhost ~]$ speaker-test

speaker-test 1.0.14

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib confmisc.c:769:(parse_card) cannot find card ''
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function

ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat 
returned error: No such device

3. Command qjackctl produces error messages:
